My problem was that I was am using Emacs 23.1.1, which comes with orgmode 6.21b. I then set up org-export-latex-classes by hand for 'beamer' and got things sort of working apart from blocks and two-column. I subsequently installed orgmode 7.3, but still retained my customisations, and was thus still unable to get blocks and two-column. Removing the customisation fixed things. Perhaps a remark about how to set org-export-latex-classes could be added to the documentation in the wiki, particularly since the current Debian stable comes with emacs 22.2, which presumably contains a yet older version of orgmode.
